GIGAFLIGHT Aerospace Cables

GF5-71T

GIVING YOU OPTIONS

GIGAFLIGHT’s 50Ω coaxial cable, GF5-71T, is designed as a drop-in replacement to Carlisle 311501 and PIC S67163. Built with identical materials and matching electricals, GIGAFLIGHT has simplified your design in approvals. The connectors paired with this cable are identical to the XXX922 series aerospace connectors, which means electrical characteristics, strip dimensions and tooling are the same. In addition, the GF5-71T cable is considerably smaller, lighter weight, and lower loss than commonly used RG393 and RG214.

Looking to Save Weight?

GIGAFLIGHT’s GF5-71T-1 features a white, laser-markable jacket, a 6% smaller outer diameter, and is 12% lighter than the GF5-71T. View the GF5-71T-1 Burn Test.

GF5-56T

GIVING YOU OPTIONS

GIGAFLIGHT’s 50Ω coaxial cable, GF5-56T, is designed as a drop-in replacement to Carlisle 311201 and PIC S55122. Built with identical materials and matching electricals, GIGAFLIGHT has simplified your design in approvals. The connectors paired with this low-loss 50 ohm coax cable are identical to the XXX122 series avionics connectors, which means electrical characteristics, strip dimensions and tooling are the same.

GF100-26HDMI

READILY AVAILABLE AEROSPACE GRADE HDMI

The GF100-26HDMI is an aerospace, high-speed 2.0 HDMI cable designed to support 4K p60/59, 12Gbps images up to 15 ft, as well as, 4K p30/24, 6Gbps and 1080p 60Hz up to 50 ft. This 26 AWG HDMI cable is backward compatible to all current features pertinent to the HDMI specifications.

GIGAFLIGHT offers custom assemblies and test reports for assemblies built using HDMI, DVI-D, and HD26 Pin D-Subs with a typical lead-time of 2–3 days. See the current HDMI generic drawing templates listed in the table below, and contact GIGAFLIGHT to discuss your assembly requirements.

GF70-22A429

22 AWG ARINC 429

The GF70-22A429 cable is designed per the ARINC 429 Data Bus specification. It is a drop-in replacement for PIC D620222. To save you time in cable fab, we use a white laser markable jacket.

GF77-241553

WHITE JACKETED 1553 DATABUS

The GF77-241553 is designed to meet the electrical requirements of M17/176-00002, commonly referred to as 1553 data bus. The main difference between the GF77-241553 and the M17/176 is the GF77-241553 has a laser markable jacket and the M17/176 has a blue tint jacket. In the age of laser marking equipment, our design team feels that this slight alteration will become the standard. This cable is a suitable alternative to PIC G771553.

The GF77-241553 is currently available in two jacket colors, standard Laser Markable White and Flight Test Orange.

GF90-24USB2

USB 2.0 DATA CABLE

The GF90-24USB2 is designed to meet the requirements of USB 2.0 applications up to 18ft. With a 100% foil and an 80% round wire braided shield, this design provides ample protection against EMI in the vast majority of applications. The GF90-24USB2 is a drop-in replacement for commonly used PIC USB2422 cable. Contact GIGAFLIGHT if you’re interested in having us build your USB cable assemblies.

If your project requires a specific jacket color that is called out in the jacket colors table, please contact us for availability.

GF120T-24CANB

CAN BUS CABLE THAT’S INNOVATIVELY DESIGNED

The GF120T-24CANB is a laser wire markable, aerospace-grade CAN Bus approved by Garmin for use with Garmin’s CAN Bus System architectures. CAN Bus is designed to be a 120 ohm Twinax, which means the insulation thickness is increased to achieve 120 ohms between the conductors. The increased thickness creates an issue with contact extraction because the insulation OD is larger than the contact. With GIGAFLIGHT’s CAN Bus, we have solved this issue by using a dual-wall insulation design.

The first layer of insulation is a thinner wall high-temp PFA with a finished diameter less than the contact OD. The second layer of insulation is a foamed FEP that provides the separation between the wires to maintain a 120 ohms-controlled impedance throughout. A section of the foamed insulation is removed in the termination process to provide access for contact removal. An added benefit of a dual-wall construction is that the solid insulation eliminates insulation creep back, a common issue with an all foam insulation design.

GF100-24CAT6A

CAT6A 10Gb ETHERNET CABLE

The GF100-24CAT6A is designed to deliver 10 gigabit performance in accordance to ANSI/TIA 568 Category 6A up to 246ft. The GF100-24CAT6A is a suitable electrical alternative to PIC E6A6824 and Carlisle MX10G-24. With a 100% foil and a 90% round wire braided shield, this design provides ample protection against EMI in the vast majority of applications. This product is sold in bulk or CAT6A tested assemblies. Please contact GIGAFLIGHT for a quote.

GF100T-24CAT5

2 PAIR, CAT5 ETHERNET CABLE

The GF100T-24CAT5 is designed to meet ARINC 646 Local Area Network (LAN) applications as well as RS422, and RS485 application. This cable is a drop-in replacement for Carlisle cable 392404, most commonly used as a Garmin Systems HSDB. The double-shielded construction, 100% foil and 90% round wire braid shield, provides the necessary shielding effectiveness for the vast majority of aerospace HSDB applications.

GF100-24TPNS

1-PAIR UNSHIELDED 100Ω 10/100BASE-T CABLE

The GIGAFLIGHT GF100-24TPNS is a 100Ω High Speed, Single Twisted, Data Pair Cable, which is designed for In-Flight Entertainment systems (IFE) where an unshielded cable meets the installation requirement. This cable is used in RS422, RS485, NTSC/PAL, and RS170 data and video applications where it has been determined that an unshielded data pair can be used. 

The GF100-24TPNS is a laser-markable alternative to commonly used PIC E60224, with the added benefit of a silver-plated high-strength copper alloy (SPHSCA*) conductor. Users of the new unshielded Twisted Pair Cable will benefit from reduced weight and size, greater flexibility, smaller bend radius, much lower cost, and reduced installation time!

*The SPHSCA, 24 gauge conductor will meet the requirements of SAE International Aerospace Standard AS50881, which states in paragraph 3.8.8, “Use of size 24 gauge wires in a harness shall be limited to wires which have break strength of 20lbs minimum.”
